ECCN 7A002
NSMTATGyros or Angular Rate Sensors, Having any of the Following, and specially designed Components Therefor.
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 7A002 controls gyros and angular-rate sensors with specified performance — defined by angular-rate range, bias and scale-factor stability, and the linear-acceleration environment in which they operate — together with specially designed components. These sensors complement the accelerometers of 7A001 in inertial navigation, and the highest-performance units are essential to missile and aircraft guidance, hence National Security, Missile Technology, and Anti-Terrorism controls.
Who needs to check this?
Manufacturers and exporters of fiber-optic, ring-laser, MEMS, and other gyroscopes and angular-rate sensors and their components.
Compliance tip
As a Missile Technology entry, 7A002 generally does not permit license exceptions and typically requires a license regardless of destination. Classification depends on measured bias and scale-factor stability — verify calibration data against the entry thresholds, and watch for missile/UAV end-use controls under EAR Part 744.
Items Covered
- a.Specified to function at linear acceleration levels less than or equal to 100 g and having any of the following:
- 1. An angular rate range of less than 500 degrees per second and having any of the following:
- 1.a. A "bias" "stability" of less (better) than 0.5 degree per hour, when measured in a 1 g environment over a period of one month, and with respect to a fixed calibration value; or
- 1.b. An "angle random walk" of less (better) than or equal to 0.0035 degree per square root hour; or
- 2. An angular rate range greater than or equal to 500 degrees per second and having any of the following:
- 2.a. A "bias" "stability" of less (better) than 4 degrees per hour, when measured in a 1 g environment over a period of three minutes, and with respect to a fixed calibration value; or
- 2.b. An "angle random walk" of less (better) than or equal to 0.1 degree per square root hour; or
- b.Specified to function at linear acceleration levels exceeding 100 g.
Control Reasons
Items controlled for national security reasons under multilateral export control regimes.
Items controlled under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
